INVARIANT CORE. “These conserved features include: 1) ploidy changes from haploid to diploid to haploid (or diploid to haploid to diploid), 2) the process of meiosis that enables meiotic recombination and halves the ploidy of the genome, and 3) cell–cell fusion between mating partners (a and α cells) or gametes (the sperm and the egg). This ubiquity of the conserved features of sex again speaks to the antiquity of the process.”
